PHOTOS: From Qipaos To Aquamarine Hair, The James Beard Awards’ Best Dressed

Who cares if the Met Ball was across town last night? A few culinary celebrities knocked it out of the park sartorially speaking at the James Beard Awards, and were thrilled to see that a creative palate can sometimes translate into a creative palette. (Hooray for puns! Also, no one at the Met Ball actually dressed for the night’s punk theme, so you win, chefs.)

We’ve selected a few of our favorite outfits below, and are attempting to crowdsource more with this plea: does anyone have a photo of Naomi Pomeroy or Rick Bayless? Our floor correspondent claimed that they killed it, but we can’t tell you exactly how best-dressed they are without photographic evidence.
